In Chicago With Brian

We are having a grand time in Chicago with Brian. Today begins our third day, and we have been busy. Here are a few observations about Kate.

She has enjoyed herself. I have been trying to see that she doesn’t get out of my sight for fear of losing her. Yesterday I slipped when we got off the train in front of our hotel. I led Brian and Kate across the street. I looked back and saw Brian and assumed incorrectly that Kate was right behind. When we got in the hotel lobby, I looked around and she was not with us. I rushed back outside and she was waiting on the street corner where we had gotten off the train. I later asked if she realized she was across the street from the hotel, she said no.

A couple of other things are both sad and cute. When we were walking to Tommy Gun’s Garage Friday night, we passed the Sommerset Hotel. It had a plaque that indicated it was built in 1889. I pointed this out to Brian and Kate. The next day we walked past the same spot. Kate noticed it and pointed it out to Brian and me. I didn’t say anything about having shown this to her the day before.
